SeaCapt.ai helps tanker and bulk carrier crews prepare for SIRE 2.0 and RightShip RISQ by testing not just knowledge, but real-world demonstration under inspection conditions.
Know exactly where you stand before the inspector boards. Rank-specific, aligned to how inspectors actually evaluate crew — not a textbook quiz.
OCIMF's human factors inspection framework for all tanker types — oil, chemical, gas, LPG and LNG. Rank-specific for 18 ranks, Master through Rating.
RightShip's inspection framework for bulk carriers and general cargo. Structure, cargo, mooring, machinery — section by section gap profile.
Every seafarer passes a psychometric test during hiring. Yet crews still fail at teamwork, freeze under inspection pressure, and cannot challenge unsafe decisions. Standard tests measure personality in an interview room. SeaCapt measures how a seafarer actually performs under the conditions that exist on a ship.
Fleet readiness intelligence, remote audit services, and Lead Auditor certified consulting — grounded in Master Mariner experience on tankers and bulk carriers.
End-to-end readiness for the digitised inspection regime — PIQ, HVPQ, human factors coaching, and crew drills across every phase.
Emotional intelligence and cross-cultural communication training for multinational crews. The failure mode no regulation has solved.
Internal audits that arrive prepared. Significant audit work completed before the vessel visit — the onboard phase focuses entirely on verification, crew interviews, and physical inspection. Faster, more thorough, lower disruption to operations.
Close observation gaps before the inspector boards. TMSA gap analysis alongside your DPAs and superintendents.
Dedicated ongoing support for safety, compliance, and crew performance — structured as a monthly retainer.
Root cause analysis grounded in human factors — not just procedural review. Findings that actually prevent recurrence.
Fleet-wide crew readiness intelligence — vessel by vessel. Aggregates crew assessment data into risk scores, PIF heatmaps, and inspection alerts. Predictive Analysis flags high-risk topic areas before the inspector boards.
Internal audits that arrive prepared. Documentary and gap analysis completed remotely before vessel visit — the onboard phase focuses entirely on verification, crew interviews, and physical inspection.
Built by a Lead Auditor — for Lead Auditors. One workspace for all your clients. Remote pre-audit to onboard clause-by-clause checklist. Professional closing report generated automatically from your findings.
SIRE 2.0 replaced VIQ7 as OCIMF's sole tanker inspection framework — risk-based, digitised, and built around human factors. Every question has hardware, process, and human components, and every negative observation is tagged to one of 9 Performance Influencing Factors. OCIMF and the PIF framework are specific to SIRE 2.0 and tanker operations — RightShip RISQ uses its own classification system.
Every human observation is classified by one of 9 Performance Influencing Factors defined by OCIMF.
Inspectors use intrinsically safe tablets with real-time reporting, GPS tracking, and photo evidence.
Each inspection gets a unique questionnaire — crews cannot predict which questions will appear. SeaCapt prepares you for all of them.
Crew performance rated as Not as expected, Largely as expected, As expected, or Exceeds expectations.
Complete review and preparation of your Pre-Inspection Questionnaire, vessel particulars, certificate repository, and photograph uploads — the pre-boarding elements that set the tone for the entire inspection.
Crew-level PIF assessment and coaching across all 9 Performance Influencing Factors. We prepare your officers and ratings to demonstrate competence — not just possess it.
Realistic walkthrough of the SIRE 2.0 inspection process — opening meeting, physical inspection, crew interviews, and closing meeting. Build crew confidence by simulating what the inspector will actually do.
Audit the gap between your SMS procedures and actual onboard practice. Where they diverge, we either update the procedure or retrain the crew — before the inspector finds the mismatch.
RISQ 3.2 takes effect February 2026. Tick-box answers won't survive anymore. Memorised procedures won't impress. The new regime probes context, understanding, and behaviour-based compliance — the same human factors approach SeaCapt was built for.
16 chapters covering safety, environment, structural integrity, maintenance, and crew competency.
Documents submitted via DMC before boarding. Onboard time reduced from 14 to 11.5 hours on average.
RISQ results feed directly into the RightShip Safety Score — influencing charter decisions and vessel marketability.
By January 2027, all vessels 10 years and older fall under scope. Preparation starts now.
Systematic review of all 16 RISQ chapters against your vessel's current condition, SMS, and crew competency. Identify gaps before the inspector does.
Focused drills on the top finding areas — enclosed space entry, lifesaving equipment, hatch covers, pilot ladders, and machinery space readiness.
RISQ 3.2 probes operational familiarity, not paperwork. We prepare crew to demonstrate and explain — not just comply.
Document Management Centre preparation, pre-upload review, and onboard readiness coaching for the shortened physical inspection.
Understand what drives your RightShip Safety Score and build a systematic plan to improve it across your fleet.
Our team has vast experience on tankers and bulk carriers and are Lead Auditor certified — ISM, ISPS, MLC. We have personally experienced the operational difficulties onboard and we are now building tools to solve them.
